Sylvania FT18DL Osram Dulux L fluorescent bulbs are a type that is much like the small Osram Dulux Lamps only much larger. These are the 18 watt version and they have a 4 pin in a row construction on the 2G11 base. Some of the fixture types that use this lamp include 2x2 fluorescent, pendant bowl and some cove lighting. With a choice of colors like 3000K, 3500K or 4100K, you will find the right color that works with your interior space. It's about half the length of a standard fluorescent, but gives off the same amount of light. This is the lowest watt version of any of the Sylvania Osram Dulux L and is oftentimes used in smaller fixtures that have to be more compact. It's also been a favorite of people using it in track lighting to get a broad wash of light for something like a retail display or a wall situation. If you want a warmer color temperature more like incandescent light then use the lower color temperatures. And if you want something that is more like office lighting white then the cool white color will be the better choice. It's a perfect light to get high illumination in a small space and providing that broad wash of light that many people want. Keep in mind that these are not interchangeable with other wattages fewer specified by the electronic ballast on the label.

About this product.At BuyLightFixtures.com, we believe that you should get the best possible quality in a plugin CFL bulbs at a reasonable price. For those of you looking for a specific type of Dulux bulb but it can be a little bit daunting with all the different choices you have. There’s everything from prongs to pins, various color temperatures, and applications that have to be decided upon. So let’s explain it from the beginning. CFL lighting was developed because it has such a high light output for the amount of wattage that you could use. It was found to be more energy-efficient, and you could get a lot of light for the relatively small amount of wattage at the time. That improved to the point that it became pervasively used in all types of lighting applications, designed to replace a lot of the old incandescent lamps with specific bulb types.

Saving energy or simple Osram Dulux L replacement.The lighting industry is changing, and so is the fluorescent lighting that you see today. It has become more energy-efficient over time, but now you’re starting to see the advent of energy-saving LED bulbs that are replacing a lot of even the Dulux fluorescents. The energy efficiencies have gotten so good that people can replace even energy-efficient pin base Dulux fluorescents. If you’re looking at replacing your lighting with more efficient LED, we can help you with that as well. We have a complete line of light fixtures that will work well for your situation regardless of the application. There’s never been a better time to take a look at saving energy by replacing older types of lighting technology. Keep in mind that there’s also a lot of electric utility rebates and the incentives will help reduce payback time and increase your return on investment. Many commercial lighting users often see a payback of anywhere from 1 to 3 years although there are times when it goes even lower than that if an incentive from the utility company comes into play. If you’re wondering how much money you can save by upgrading your lighting system, we do have a spreadsheet on the left-hand column of our website that you can download for free. It gives you a necessary calculation of how much energy and money you can save by going to something that’s more energy-efficient. You can input the data of your existing system on one side and then the new system on the other side with the reduced wattage. Depending on your kilowatt cost you’re going to be able to save quite a bit of money, and you can find out whether it makes economic sense to make the change. It will tell you what the payback would be and will even tell you what your maintenance savings would be.

How can we help you today?If you’re trying to diagnose a problem with the lamp you have, you can give us a call or email us any information that you have like a picture or a video and let us know what’s going on. We've probably seen the problem before, and we can probably tell you exactly what you need to do to help get your lighting system working correctly again. Most of the time is just replacing a Osram Dulux L bulb, but it could be something else and that something else is typically a ballast. If your light fixtures are ancient and you’re thinking about just putting in new lamps that may be the time to consider going to something like an LED system. That could be something where you are retrofitting existing housing, or it could be something where you go in and take out the old light fixtures and put new ones in. It all depends on you and what the paybacks are and any incentives that may be involved. In any case, you can get maximum light output for the least amount of energy these days with a wide range of LED.
